Problem:
I have svilab.com and www.svilab.com pointing to the managed DNS servers from Netlify.
I would like crm.netlify.com to point to a Godaddy IP address 160.153.33.96
Here is what I have done so far:
Migrated my DNS from Godaddy to Netlify by changing the nameservers to
dns1.p06.nsone.net
dns2.p06.nsone.net
dns3.p06.nsone.net
dns4.p06.nsone.net
Created an A record that goes to crm.svilab.com -> 160.153.33.96 which is a godaddy server.
What I am expecting is to see:
A login page for the suitecrm I setup.
What I am actually seeing is:
Future home of something quite cool. I have verified that the home.html for this default page does not exist in the public_html on godaddy.
I setup the A record correctly. See my dropbox link
The problem was on netlify's side. From their email...
You made the record correctly. There is a known bug (cross-linked to this conversation for tracking) were sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, the DNS record gets created in our UI but not in the actual DNS server.
So, our UI says there is a record, when in reality there isn't one.
To clarify, you did everything correctly and it was a bug on our end. I deleted and recreated that A record in the Netlify UI and it worked the second time around.
You can't point crm.netlify.com to choice of your server, as this is completely owned by netlify.
For pointing crm.{yourdomain.example} you need to create A record in your domains zone file pointing it to specific IP you want.

I deployed a node app on heroku and pointed a custom domain to it from namecheap. When I type my domain in it will load a page that says "Theres nothing there, yet" and changes the url to domain.com.herokudns.com
After looking around for 2 days I came back to the same solution, I created two cname records on namecheap that pointed to the "domain.com.herokudns.com". The cname records automatically place a period after this target, when I place a period after my domain when searching, my website loads.
Is there a way to fix this? I've seen people with similar problems but I find it weird that my site will load both with www and without if I have a period at the end.
I had to change the cname record to a www name with the target of [herokuappname].herokuapp.com and add a url redirect # to http://[www.yourdomain.tld]. After clearing my cache this worked.
I have setup web-hosting for the domain name, 'www.domainName.com' (forExample) and had it working fine, but when I removed the existing nameservers and placed in my web-hosting nameServers, it broke the 3rd party email hosting, which unbeknown to me was actively being used. To rectify this, my nameServers were removed, and the mail-hosting namerServers were added back:
ab1_mailNameServer_etc
ab2_mailNameServer_etc
Nothing else was changed but I now get a 'ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED' error when i venture to the 'www.domainName.com' through my browser.
I looked up the domain A-Records using MXtoolBox and it tells me that no name servers can be found, although i have an A-Record for, domainName.com & www.domainName.com that point to the correct IP. I also have the correct A-Records in my hosting, and i know this because this all worked before my hosting nameServers were removed.
My question is, can I simply add back in my web-hosting nameServers under the existing email nameServers without breaking email-hosting link?
I am a lil frightened to do so, as I cannot risk breaking the email twice in one week.
Thanks in advance peeps! ;)
After changing back to mail-hosting's nameservers, if your emails have started working, then there's no problem with DNS propagation. In this case, an error "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" is more likely a local computer problem and can be fixed by the flushing DNS and clearing the browse cache/cookies.
As long as primarily set nameservers (mail-hosting nameservers) are resolving correctly, adding hosting nameservers under to existing won't create any difference.
So apparently you can only have one set of nameservers (not sure if that's across the board, or just with this registrar) listed, then you need to add the 'MX entry', relevant CNAME, TXT-Records in your web hosting via cPanel and ur mail and web hosting should work in unity. Peace, hope that helps someoene, cause it took me freakn ages to find that out!
I am completely confused the last few days with this and I still haven't found an outcome that's worked.
Basically I have a domain name without hosting at letshost.ie which is dublinplasterer.ie
I also Have one domain & hosting with godaddy for domain- shanafagan.com which is my own site for web/graphic design service.
I created a subdomain= dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com and uploaded the site files.
Basically I want for example when someone types in dublinplasterer.ie in the address bar if goes to dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com but doesn't show dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com url, stays as dublinplasterer.ie
Im not even sure if this can be done at this stage. head is melted
shanafagan.com and the subdomain dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com have the same ip so how will that work if changing dns?
Any help would be greatly appreciated , am so stuck at this stage.
If you wanted to do it this way you would need a web server for domain2.com
Search for ProxyPass.
The way you should do this is add a second domain on your web hosting (cpanel for example) and point the other domain to this web server.
If you are struggling I recommend using a solution like cPanel that is widely used and simplifies much of the process. It is common enough you can google most issues.
So normally you would have started by making an add-on domain (instead of a subdomain) which would also create it's own subdomain anyway. To do that, you go to your cPanel in GoDaddy and find add-on domain, then make it "dublinplasterer.ie" (Don't add www. to it. Even though this name is hosted elsewhere, we will later go to your DNS files at that hosting and point it to your GoDaddy's name servers and this add-on helps it direct to the right root folder) then choose your local root folder for that site (I think you can actually make this the same as your other subfolder already hosting your files and then it will just pull the same site) or you can pick a different subfolder and then make the add-on domain. This tells any request to this name server that if it is a request for "dublinplasterer.ie" it needs to send it to the subfolder you specified.
If you don't make the subfolder the same as the one you already made, you can either load the same content into your new subfolder or create a CNAME record telling this add-on to point to your subfolder instead but that is more complex so go with the other route.
Lastly, you need to go to your original hosting at letshost.ie and under your domain name find the DNS records tab. Change the name servers to match your GoDaddy ones and now (may take a day or two to show as DNS changes often take days and can't be seen immediately but you can try using a different device/computer/mobile that hasn't loaded it previously to see if it will refresh the correct dns) it should work. Even though it points to your main site name servers, the add-on domain you made receives it and directs it to the subfolder you specified on the add-on domain.
Hope that helps, let me know if it works for you.
I am trying to map my site which is on github pages (tusharmath.github.io) to a particular domain (tusharm.com) using cloudflare name servers.
Its been more than a day and i can still not see view my website on tusharm.com
Steps followed -
Added a CNAME file with value tusharm.com in the gh-pages branch on github.
Updated name servers on CrazyDomain that were provided by CloudFlare.
tusharm.com is loading the same content as tusharmath.github.io at this time, which would lead me to believe you were able to fix things here. Did you need to make any further changes to get this working?
p.s. I work for CloudFlare.
I recently changed NS of one domain to another host and created a domain using Helm Control Panel.
The problem is that when I type domain name (ie. www.MyDomain.com) instead of opening the coresponding website, it opens host webmail page which is served by smarter mail.
I have cleared dns cache, rebuilt and updated it. also I removed the domain and added it again.
Pinging the domain name returns server's IP address and it's up.
The hosting OS is windows server 2003.
I appreciate any comments to solve the problem.
Edit 1:
Though this was a long last headache, I solved the problem by removing domain's DNS entry alongside with all alias domains attached to it directly in DNS Server console, restarting server and then rebuilding DNS Zone via Helm Control Panel. I'm not sure if this was the best practice but it seems there was a mix of domain's DNS, alias domains' DNS, Hosting software, Caching problems.
Edit 2:
Actually this error was not about the DNS stuff, it is a failure of Helm Control Panel adding/removing alias domains. To share the experience, I Add a answer to this question.
This was not a DNS error.
I found the answer when examining IIS where i noticed the website was stopped.
Forcing the website to start, this error message poped up:
IIS was unable to start the site, another site may already be using the port you configured for this site.
Further investigation revealed that one same domain alias has previously added to another domain/host.
Removing this alias from IIS > Website Properties > Website > Advanced > Advanced Website Identification, fixed the problem.
What led me to assume a dns problem mistakenly was that default IP of server is set to mail server by default. so, when a website is stopped the domain points to mail server.
Hope this help for future.
